I use knight’s rings, valkyrie earrings, and the 44k karma power/toughness/vitality helm and chestpiece. Everything else is berserker. I don’t really feel like I have major survivability issues. Most of my survivability comes from black powder and stealth from D/P, range from the shortbow, hide in shadows, shadow refuge, shadowstep, and the shadow arts/acrobatics trait lines. Damage is still quite good. It’s not on the level of a glass cannon warrior, but what is? And even playing primarily melee, I tend to be the least likely to die in most situations. Especially WvW – dying there is nearly impossible without getting hit by a lag spike.
So who else set their Charr’s height to around the middle, expecting to be average, only to find that you’re actually a tiny little babyman? In 80 levels I’m not sure I’ve seen a single Charr NPC that isn’t way taller than I am. Seems a little misleading, I dunno. Here’s hoping they add character recustomization in the near future. Future Charr players – be warned.
Also, when you run forward, your character grips his weapon by the very end which looks kind of silly. The hall of monuments daggers look particularly bad, as you hold them by the blade.

Seems fine as-is to me. No need to clutter everything with titles.
Yeah, it’s a huge bummer when I’m sitting in Lion’s Arch and people fade into and out of existence 10 feet away. I wish there were a setting for this or something.
Having the #2 skill actually land and not get obstructed for no reason is a cause for celebration.
90% of the ranger pets I see people walking around with are still using the default Juvenile name, and I wonder if it’s because they’re clueless or if it’s because of this issue.
So if I don’t like somebody in my exclusively adult guild, I can simply report them as soon as they inevitably swear and have them kicked out of the game for over a week? Or if I just feel like being a massive jerk to some random guy for no reason because trolling is just so great and all the rage or something?
Fantastic. This couldn’t possibly go wrong.
Not a huge deal, but I may as well mention it. Viewing the heavy heritage shoulderpads from underneath makes them partially invisible, which is extremely apparent at all times at least on a Norn male character. Like so:

It kind of ruins them.
